sleep or yield?

[Rob]

javadoc indicates that thread.sleep will not cause a loss of ownership of
any monitor.

Yield will cause a currently executing thread to pause and allow other threads
to execute.

What would be better to use when implementing a one thread to monitor another?
Or should I just set the monitoring thread's priority lower than the executing
thread?

Instead of all that , u can use
shared data that will change reflecting the status of one thread.
Or u can go for mutual reccrsion which calls mathod of
each other infoming the status of each each.
